The Toronto Raptors made a pair of moves Friday, retaining forward Patrick Patterson and trading forward Steve Novak to the Utah Jazz, a person familiar with the transactions told USA TODAY Sports.

The person requested anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the deals until they became official after July 9.

The Jazz will also acquire a second-round pick from Toronto for guard Diante Garrett, who Toronto is expected to waive. The Raptors were able to unload the final two years and $7.19 million on Novak's deal, which created salary cap space.

Toronto used some of the space on Patterson, the 6-9 power forward who agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal. Patterson, who also had interest from the Phoenix Suns and Orlando Magic, found a nice role off the bench after the Raptors acquired him from Sacramento last season.

He averaged 9.1 points and 5.1 rebounds and shot 41.1% on three-pointers in 48 games with Toronto in 2013-14. Patterson is smart on both ends of the floor and fits well into Toronto's plans.
